Douglas County residents fed up with illegal dumping
Long-time residents on Britt Road are sounding the alarm as their quiet street is transformed into a makeshift junkyard. From abandoned boats to massive piles of tires, the community feels “violated” by the persistent eyesores. While local landfills charge between $5 and $15 to dispose of tires properly, many are opting to dump them illegally, prompting calls for stricter felony charges similar to recent crackdowns in DeKalb County.
